DBasia.news – Juventus Vice-President, Pavel Nedved, is disappointed that the title of UEFA’s Best Player fell to Virgil van Dijk.
Van Dijk won the UEFA best player of 2018/2019. The Liverpool defender sets aside Lionel Messi (Barcelona) and Ronaldo.
Van Dijk had won it, after taking Liverpool to win the 2018/2019 Champions League. While Ronaldo, along with Juventus, was eliminated from the event since the quarterfinals.
“I expect Ronaldo to win, but we accept everything,” Nedved said.
On that occasion, Nedved also commented on the results of the Champions League group stage draw. The Bianconeri are joined in Group D with Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Lokomotiv Moscow. On paper, Juventus are the strongest in this group. However, Nedved was reluctant to boast. “It’s a challenging round, it’s not easy, but there are no easy matches in the Champions League. “We’ve changed a lot, we have a coach and new players, but I’m sure we can do well,” Nedved added
